No increases in the state's income tax -- or sales tax, was the message that Governor Tom Wolf sent to state lawmakers Tuesday, as he unveiled his proposed 2018-2019 spending plan.
Wolf is asking for an additional 225-million dollars for basic education, pre-k funding, and a new initiative focused on career and technical education.
And the Governor is once again pushing for a severance tax on natural gas drilling and a 25-dollar per person fee for communities that rely on state police coverage.
Lawmakers must pass a balanced budget by July first.
